    Doesn't he realize that the man who writes those articles about Manny beating the **** out of him is this guy on the right?

      Why the hell is Khan so insistent on convincing us about his holding his own with Pacquiao (or being even with him)?

      Focus on Maidana, man.

      Jeez, I swear. Khan and twitter...

        I don't even know who's telling the truth anymore. Roach says Khan punched the shit out of Pacquiao and that he's disappointed in how Pac's been looking. Makes me wonder what if Khan is just being modest and doesn't wanna say "I was better than Pacquiao in sparring" out of respect.

          He's really disappointed that Manny isn't giving his all in sparring and he's playing around too much with his sparring partners. Amir even admitted that Manny's probably giving only 60% in sparring.

            Stylisticly Khan should give Manny a lot of problems, especially if Khan doesn't get gutsy.

            In a real fight Manny could possibly overcome that though, in sparring I don't know if he wants to really work that hard. That is always why I found it puzzling that they brought Khan in, atleast to me.

              Pac gives it all on fight night and that is why he has a wonderful resume. He dont get ATG by beating up sparring partners and boasting about how well he was against sparring partners.
              So he dont have to look great in sparring, other than to keep his trainer roach happy.

                You train how you fight, if you are training improperly that is bound to catch up with you on fight night at some point.

                You may not be able to win a fight before fight night but you can certainly lose a fight before fight night.

                  This is the thing I hate about Khan, he's too full of himself.
